<h1>Enabling a Grid/Graph as a selector to control another Grid/Graph</h1>
<p>In the following image, two Grid/Graphs are shown. The grid report on 
 the left shows revenue by region. The graph report on the right shows 
 revenue by quarter and region. Notice that the two Grid/Graphs share a 
 particular attribute (Region) and that Region in the grid report is underlined, 
 indicating a link. </p>
<p class="whs1"><img src="images/selector_GG.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="541px" height="242px" border="0" class="img_whs2"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Click a specific region, such as Mid-Atlantic, in the grid report. The 
 graph report changes to display information for that region only, as shown 
 below:</p>
<p class="whs1"><img src="images/selector_GG2.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="541px" height="250px" border="0" class="img_whs3"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The grid report on the left is controlling the graph report on the right. 
 In other words, this scenario uses one Grid/Graph as a selector targeting 
 another Grid/Graph. The first Grid/Graph does not become a selector, but 
 performs in a manner similar to a selector. A panel stack, can also be 
 the target of a Grid/Graph.</p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<ul type="disc" class="whs4">
	
<li class=p><p>This procedure assumes that a 
<a HREF="Add_GG_to_documents.htm">Grid/Graph</a> 
 has been created to use as the selector. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>A panel stack or Grid/Graph must also be created to 
 use as the target.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>&nbsp;The selector and target must 
 have an attribute in common. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>If targets are 
<a href="Automatically_maintaining_targets_for_selectors.htm">automatically 
 maintained</a>, and you add a Grid/Graph or panel stack to the same document 
 section or panel after defining this selector, the Grid/Graph or panel 
 stack that is added automatically becomes a target.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>To use a Grid/Graph as a selector</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs5">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design 
 </B></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>On a Grid/Graph, right-click the attribute to use as 
 the selector, and choose <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use as Selector 
 </B></span><span>or </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>&nbsp;Edit 
 Selector</B></span>. The Configure Selector dialog box opens.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select the target Grid/Graph or panel stack in the list 
 of available controls on the left, and click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>&gt;</B></span> 
 to add it to the list of selected targets. You can select multiple targets.</p></li>
	<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note: 
 </B></span>If targets are automatically maintained in the layout, you cannot 
 select targets. All Grid/Graphs and panel stacks in the same document 
 section or panel as the selected Grid/Graph are automatically chosen as 
 targets. You can disable automatic targets by clicking the Manual Targets 
 button. If you do, all selectors in the layout are no longer automatically 
 maintained. For more information about disabling automatic target maintenance, 
 see 
<a href="Automatically_maintaining_targets_for_selectors.htm">Automatically 
 maintaining targets for selectors</a>.</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p>The <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>All</B></span> option 
 in a selector allows the user to display all the elements or metrics in 
 the target at one time. To enable the All option, select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show 
 option for All</B></span> check box.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span> to 
 return to the document.</p></li>
